Leslie Szasz

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who has certification in EMDR and Trauma Focused CBT. I specialize in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. I have extensive training and experience with crisis management, particularly, as it relates to suicidal ideations or behaviors. I received formal training in crisis management as a Special Agent in the FBI. I was the Employee Assistance Program Coordinator for the Cincinnati Division of the FBI. In this capacity, I responded to critical incidents to provide Critical Incident Stress Debriefings. I am now in private practice and enjoy the opportunity to help clients.

I use Client Centered Therapy to engage with clients. This type of therapy involves the therapist viewing any problem or situation from the client’s perspective. My form of therapy is highly collaborative. I ask my clients to draft their own treatment plan in terms of goals and objectives and then render my professional input.

I chose counseling as a second career after 31 years as a FBI agent because I had a counseling role in the FBI and quickly learned that counseling is my passion and forte. I feel privileged to be therapist. I firmly believe in the benefits of therapy. I get tremendous satisfaction in seeing clients effect positive change through the therapeutic process.
